How to copy, move, or delete saved games, profiles, and avatar items on Xbox 360

Overview

You can copy, move, or delete content such as saved games, profiles, and avatar items between different Xbox 360 storage devices. You can then use the storage device to move your content to another Xbox 360 console.
